Newcastle Open to Alexander Isak’s Move to Liverpool—But There’s a Catch
Newcastle United are reportedly open to the possibility of Alexander Isak joining Liverpool, but only under a key condition.
Sources close to the club suggest that Newcastle will only consider selling the Swedish striker if he personally pushes for the transfer. While the Magpies are not actively looking to offload their record-breaking signing, they are willing to respect his wishes should he express a strong desire to leave St. James’ Park this summer.
Isak has been instrumental in Newcastle’s revival under Eddie Howe, attracting Liverpool’s interest with his adaptability, sharp finishing, and attacking leadership. Since arriving from Real Sociedad, the 25-year-old has established himself as one of the Premier League’s top forwards, with his reputation continuing to grow.
A Newcastle insider told Sky Sports:
“The club has no intention of selling Alexander Isak, but if he makes it clear he wants to join Liverpool, we’ll have to evaluate the situation. He is central to our project, but we also respect a player’s ambitions.”
For Liverpool, Isak’s potential availability represents a major opportunity as they seek to strengthen their attacking lineup. Jurgen Klopp has long been an admirer of the Swedish forward, whose technical skill and relentless work rate could bring a fresh dynamic to Liverpool’s frontline.
Fans from both sides have reacted strongly to the rumors. One Liverpool supporter wrote:
“If we sign Isak, our attack will be sorted for years. He’s got it all—speed, strength, and finishing.”
Meanwhile, Newcastle fans are hopeful he will remain loyal to their long-term ambitions, with one tweeting:
“Selling Isak would be a huge blow. He’s irreplaceable.”
For now, the final decision seems to rest with Isak. Whether he stays as a key figure in Newcastle’s future or takes on a new challenge at Anfield remains to be seen
